SECURIX Expert Service

Security Project Management Service

Experienced project and program managers who set up, lead or rescue your ICT and security projects, so they are delivered on time, on budget and to quality, with transparent reporting.

Solution overview

Security Project Management Service provides experienced project and program managers to set up, lead or rescue your ICT and security projects. A SECURIX project manager takes responsibility for organization and leadership, from planning and steering through stakeholder management and procurement to a controlled handover. The service focuses on public sector projects and is also available to private companies with complex ICT projects. Delivery follows the framework your project requires, including HERMES, agile or hybrid approaches.

Your business needs

Give complex projects clear leadership

Limited project management capacity

Line managers and technical specialists lead projects alongside their daily responsibilities. They lack the time to maintain structure, prepare decisions and manage risks consistently.

Complex procurement and dependencies

Stakeholders, suppliers, formal requirements and dependencies need coordinated management. Public sector projects also require structured procurement and governance.

Projects off track

Schedules slip, budgets drift and decisions stall. A project in difficulty needs an honest status assessment and a recovery plan.

Who this is for

Project leadership for public sector and complex ICT environments

For cantons, cities, federal offices, healthcare and education organizations, and private companies running complex ICT and security projects.

Project sponsors

One accountable project manager and transparent reporting on status, budget and risks.

CIO / Head of IT

Experienced project leadership without hiring permanent staff, with support that can scale as the project progresses.

Project team / Steering committee

Defined roles, structured planning and clear preparation of the decisions needed to move the project forward.

How we deliver

From project setup to a controlled handover

  1. Set up objectives, scope, roles, planning, reporting and risk management. For a project rescue, begin with a status assessment and recovery plan.

  2. Coordinate stakeholders and suppliers, manage dependencies and risks, and keep decisions moving.

  3. Give the project owner and steering committee a transparent view of status, budget and risks throughout delivery.

  4. Lead the project through to a controlled handover.

The first value comes in the opening weeks of the assignment. Typical lead time from award to start is one to two weeks under an existing framework agreement, or two to four weeks for a new mandate, depending on consultant availability and customer onboarding, including any security clearance.
